Trendy Necklaces 2025. How to Wear a Pearl Necklace with a Black Dress and Gold Sandals
Summer is coming, and with it the season for airy materials, bare shoulders and jewelry that attracts attention. Contrary to the usual patterns, a natural pearl necklace can be the perfect accessory for summer - especially when you match it with a black satin dress and gold sandals. It is a combination of timeless classics with modern ease that makes an impression without effort.
Why are pearls a good choice for summer?
Because they reflect the sun in a way that highlights a tan, and their natural unevenness and irregular shape add lightness to the style. Pearls are not only elegant — they are also surprisingly versatile. With the right combination, you can wear them not only for big occasions, but also for a holiday evening with wine or dinner at a seaside restaurant.

Isn't a black dress and pearls too elegant for summer?
